Medically reviewed by Maggie Smith, MSN, FNP-C
If you're searching for a weight loss clinic in Broomfield, the closest place to see a clinician who prescribes and manages weight loss medication may be just over the line in Westminster.

Who you'll see
Every patient sees the same clinician: Maggie Smith, MSN, FNP-C, a board-certified family nurse practitioner with independent prescriptive authority in Colorado. She evaluates you, orders and interprets your labs, prescribes when appropriate, and follows up with you herself. You won't be handed between providers or a call center, and you don't need a referral to book.
GLP-1 weight loss shots, prescribed after an evaluation
The "weight loss shots" most people are asking about are GLP-1 medications. The two in wide use are:
- Semaglutide, sold as Wegovy for weight management (and as Ozempic for type 2 diabetes)
- Tirzepatide, sold as Zepbound for weight management (and as Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes), which acts on both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors
Both are once-weekly injections you give yourself at home. They act on appetite and blood sugar regulation, and for many patients they make a real difference where diet and exercise alone haven't.
They aren't right for everyone. FDA labeling for weight management covers adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or prediabetes. They aren't prescribed during pregnancy, or to anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2. Nausea and other stomach side effects are common early on, which is why the dose starts low and goes up gradually.
What a medical weight loss visit covers
- An evaluation. Your history, current medications, past attempts at weight loss and anything that may be driving weight gain, from thyroid function to sleep to other prescriptions.
- Labs. Maggie orders a metabolic panel, lipids, A1c, thyroid function and whatever else your history calls for, and goes through the results with you.
- A treatment plan. That may include a GLP-1 prescription, a different medication, or no medication, alongside nutrition guidance built around how you actually eat.
- Follow-up. Dose changes, side effects and repeat labs are handled at regular visits, in person or by video, with secure messaging between them.
Why a clinic, not a weight loss center
A lot of what comes up when you search for a weight loss center near you is a program: meal plans, weigh-ins and supplements, with no one who can order labs or write a prescription. A weight management clinic is medical care. Your plan is based on your labs and history, a medication is prescribed and monitored by a licensed clinician, and anything outside weight management that turns up in your results is followed up or referred.

Frequently asked questions
Where is the clinic, and how far is it from Broomfield? The office is at 11031 Sheridan Blvd., Suite 200, in Westminster, just south of the Broomfield line. Most of Broomfield is a short drive away, and every visit can also be done by video if that's easier.
Do you prescribe GLP-1 weight loss shots? Yes, when they're medically appropriate. Maggie evaluates your history, orders and reviews labs, and screens for the conditions that rule these medications out before prescribing semaglutide or tirzepatide, then follows up to adjust the dose and watch for side effects.
Is a GLP-1 prescription guaranteed? No. A prescription depends on your evaluation, labs and medical history. If a GLP-1 isn't right for you, Maggie will tell you why and what she recommends instead.
Do I need a referral? No. Colorado nurse practitioners have independent prescriptive authority, so you can book an evaluation directly.
Will insurance cover the medication? It depends on your plan and your diagnosis. Coverage for weight loss medication varies widely; Maggie will go over the options at your visit.
